Students that don't have a good eating habits, most of the students that have Adhd crave sweets and nothing else.
Sugar alone is bad for students that have Adhd because it makes it hard for them to control themselves
Lundsten, Apryl. "Learning curve: about five million school-age kids and teens have been diagnosed with some kind of learning disability-and that number is on the rise. With climbing stats, it might seem like everyone has a learning disorder. But is that really the case? Experts say some girls are being treated for disorders they don't actually have. Here's what you need to know ..." Girls' Life Aug.-Sept. 2011: 78+. Student Resources in Context. Web. 31 Oct. 2011.

"According to a GL online survey, more than 50 percent of girls have wondered if they have a learning disability. Here's a rundown of the most common ones and their signs"
Patten, David A. "Study: ADHD Drugs Linked to Stunted Growth." Newsmax 28 Mar. 2009. Infotrac Newsstand. Web. 31 Oct. 2011.
If you take certain medication for Adhd and Add you may have stunted growth
By 2004 doctors were writing about 28.3 million prescriptions for Adhd
Last year the number raised up to about 39.5 million
More people have stunted growth because of the medication that they are put on
Children that take the medication maybe 1 inch shorter and 6 pounds lighter
Some students feel bed about themselves because they know that they have to take this medications
Adhd normally starts in your childhood, you can't really get adhd as an adult
More often is seen in boys then girls
Children's brains who have Adhd seem different from those who don't have Adhd
Often runs in your family
Children that have Adhd may have depression, lack of sleep, behavior problems, learning disabilities, and confused with things that they have to do for school or other things
Children with Adhd may have psychiatric problems
Some symptoms of Adhd are lack of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior
Other symptoms are if the student often has to be playing with their hands, leaves their seat when they have to be remained seated, has a problem with remaining quiet, and they often seem " on the go" or as if they were " ran by a motor"
In older children that have Adhd they still have the symptom of Adhd but just not as much as if when they were a child and they don't really meet the "full definition " of what Adhd is
Some medications that children and teens can take for their Adhd are, Amphetamine-dextroamphetamine also known as Adderall there also is Dexmethylphenidate or known as Focalin , Dextroamphetamine or Dexedrine, Dextrostat, and Lisdexamfetamine well known as Vyvanse and lastly Methylphenidate or known as Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Daytrana
Some medications have caused sudden deaths in children that have a heart problem, talking to a doctor if anything may seem tot be wrong will help with this not happening
Adhd is a long term condition if the way you treat is not the correct way then it could lead to drug and alcohol abuse, failing in school, problems with keeping a job and getting in trouble with the law
Almost half of the children and students that have Adhd will continuing to have troubling symptoms of inattention and/or impulsivity as an adult
Almost all of the adults that have that problem know and try to control what they do and how they do what they do
Doctors and scientist still haven't found a way to prevent Adhd, but say that if you start taking control of that problem now then it will be easier to help control and solve the problem.
